Sky FTTC slowdown problems. Not just VM it seems

Interesting article on how some Sky FTTC customers are having problems with the performance of their service:

If it's that few affected, why not get us all to test your possible fix?

This is just another ploy to try and keep us quiet for a few weeks to buy sky some more time.

Roll on payday when I can stump up the cash to get a new ISP, and phone provider, and maybe even TV channel provider while I'm about it.

Absolutely no change for me. Still touching 22 Mb at best. Really disappointed, I've had it installed a year and still no fix. Come on Sky!

Not that it will help but thought I'd air my frustration with this unacceptably poor service. 8am-8pm I get full speed of about 38MB downstream, yet as soon as the clock strikes 8pm everything is slower than a 56k modem. Can't watch anything on Sky Demand, or any of the usual culprits like BBC iPlayer.

Sky can't fix the problem of being oversubscribed without spending thousands to get their network upgraded to handle the throughput. All this news of a fix this week is a lie, it's just buying them time.
makes you double check this is not the VM support forum they are posting on

Does Sky have a cooling off period (like VM's) so you can bale if you get a poor speed/service?
